Well ...

They're my original thoughts anyhow. I've read 3 books and I'm a quarter of my way through a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology. Plus I have 5 years experience as a programmer.

Trent does make a good point

Need to be able to think logically to solve problems.

Need to have knowledge in the system you are working with and of what ever the program is to accomplish.

Need to have an imagination to put it all together.

And like sayzer said.

If your code works, and it does what you need, whether in two lines or 10 lines then it is good enough for the application. And if you are happy with it, then it is good enough programming.

IMHO

I may be incorrect but I believe this thread has totally lost its original topic of discussion.

People helping people is what this forum is all about is it not? If I have written/modified some code that can be of use to someone they are by means free to use it. I would like nothing better than to know that I helped someone out and that they appreciated it. It's all part of learning I think. I personally prefer the hands approach to learning things. I am quite certain there are numerous others much like myself here also. Reading a smart-ass reply does nothing but consume peoples times and discourage them from posting and sharing future postings. This however is just my 2 cents worth.
